"My perspective comes from being a classroom teacher, an instructional technology teacher, a technology coordinator, and now a school library system coordinator. Some might say this means I am not a “real librarian” which is okay with both of us (I went and created a much cooler sounding profession - infomancer!) though I will say again that I am proud to be a part of the library profession. "

I have continued to push for changes and improvements for our profession.

"Chris, what would you say to the librarian that whispers: “We are so far behind, what can we do?" in respect to schools that don't allow iPods and outlaw blogs.
CH: In some recent workshops I have held about blogging, I have encountered this same type of question. One of the things I repeatedly address is the need for school libraries to adapt practices in order to meet new, outside pressures. We know that the big thing facing schools right now is the whole issue of standardized testing and accountability under No Child Left Behind (NCLB). So, one of the things we worked on was the creation of a testing-information blog, which is being used to disseminate information about testing, through librarians (as information experts), to our member school districts.
We also need to ask ourselves: How can libraries work to be a foundation—as demonstrated in the librarians' standardized-testing info. blog above—to support blogging and podcasting within the overall school environment? "-

"This blog was created in 2005 to allow students at Cold Spring Harbor High School in Long Island, New York and at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek, Michigan to share their reflections upon reading the autobiographical memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. A new round of blogging continues in the 2009 school year. Students throughout the United States and from other nations are invited to post comments."

Looking at the list of number of posts I havent been posting so much lately. I know it's been the summer sillly season as I call it, but that is not the whole story. I follow over 30 blogs and the posts are getting less.
Surely twitter has a lot to do with this. It so easy to do a quick post on twitter with a URL. THis is especially true now that delicious has made it easy to add a twitter post. I reckon it might take me a couple of minutes to do a twitter post as opposed to at least 10 to do a blog post. Of course the latter gives me the chance to give more detail, quote, or comment so I shall continue to use both and choose my blog posts from the more meaty items I come across.

What I did not have is a convenient way for people to respond to my writing or presentations. This blog might afford such a means. It has also served as a sounding board for ideas I am currently thinking/writing about. You may have seen some Blue Skunk entries as parts of a published article or book.
